On Monday the 8th my colleague Nadine and I boarded the Adventure of the seas in Malaga. So here is a brief over view of how it went. I will go in to more detail regarding dining etc on future blogs.
We caught a taxi from the airport which took about twenty minutes and cost us $35 Euros (on the return journey we only paid $30)
As we approached the port I had a feeling of dread as there seemed to be hundreds of people everywhere. My fear thankfully was short lived as it was organised chaos! We collected our luggage labels from one of the porters and in no time we we’re checked in and on board. My luggage did take a few hours longer than Nadines’ to arrive but that wasn’t a major problem.
We stayed in an inside cabin on deck eight. I was slightly disappointed that there we’re no bath robes, slips or descent toiletries but all in all it was a very comfortable cabin and our cabin steward Aristo was fantastic.
One afternoon I came back to find three men in the cabin replacing our sofa which I was quite impressed about as I didn’t think the old one was particularly shabby.
The Adventure of the Seas is one of Royal Caribbean’s Voyager class of ship and absolutely ideal for me. I loved all the facilities she had to offer like the ice rink, in line skating, mini golf and I’m proud to say I conquered my fear of heights and went up the rock climbing wall. It was very windy and Scary but I’m glad I did it. (The photo isn’t great but I promise you it really is me!)
I was really impressed with the amount of loungers around the pool as this is always a big bug bear on large ships but Royal seems to have cracked it. The adult only pool area is a great touch and very relaxing.
As I said I don’t want to go on too much about dinings but an afternoon trip to Johnny Rockets is a
As I said I will be following up the trip with future blogs but if anyone has any questions in the mean time then feel free to give me a call.
